We’re proud to be participating in this week’s Eats in the Streets fundraiser, organized by The Community Foundation of Orange and benefiting their outreach programs in our hometown.

The event is this Friday, September 23rd from 5PM to 9PM at The Village at Orange, in the parking lot at Meats & Canal – literally, in our own front yard.

A special thank you to Melissa’s World Variety Produce for sponsoring us in this event with a contribution of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Serving the Orange and Villa Park Communities, CFO’s programs include:

KidsPlay

Through KidsPlay, a first-of it’s kind program in the Greater Orange Community, the Community Foundation of Orange opens the doors to youth sports programs for many children whose families, until now, simply could not afford to let them play.

Community Scholarship Program

To provide additional education opportunities for youth in the Greater Orange Community, the Foundation established the Hobbs Transfer Student Scholarship Program, helping bridge the financial gap for students attending college in Orange.

Studio Orange

Studio Orange, the newest CFO program, is focused on cultivating creativity, increasing arts education opportunities, and building appreciation of the Arts in the Greater Orange Community.

As Orange residents and Villa Park High School graduates, our family would like to thank Community Foundation of Orange for the work they’re doing in the areas of Orange County closest to our hearts. We hope that you will come out and help raise funds for their amazing programs.
